Been waiting on you to get back to see how that NAD1s work out for you. When you say everything went smoothly...do you mean you had no problems with the offset, or did u have to put on some spacers??

Definite side shot wanted, even b4 you lower.

Are you sure your fronts are 9.5 inch wide? Highly doubt any C-Class can fit a 9.5 inch wide wheels in the front. Could it possible be 8.5 inch?

Nice wheels

for future buyers (if there are any sets left or ppl not having them on their car by yet)

i was driving on the highway with 3 adults in the back and 2-3 coolers in the trunk with the weight of another adult maybe and had no rubbing at all. even when driving on my drive-way (with that little drain in front) i didnt hear anything.

so a 255 tire stretched on a 9.5 wheel doesnt give you ANY problems with the clearance in the back

I sold them but the buyer wasn't happy later on because this guy thought he was buying "real" AMG wheels.

I think he wanted a refund but a sale is a sale. Who would believe real AMG wheels would cost this cheap, "come on". Probably would cost $8000.00 if they were real.

I'm trying to sell the centercaps now if your interested or anyone?

I finally lowered my car today. I will try and get some photos uploaded asap. Thanks to Joel at Carnutz in Bellevue, great person to deal with and very patient also. No rubbing what so ever and the ride almost feels stock. I got a chance to take some photos of a fully Kleemanized CLS coupe and I must say that it is unf@$%in' real!! Joel says it is pushin mid 600hp! Anyways, as soon as I find out how to transfer pics from my razr to pc I'll put up the pictures of the CLS and as for my car I will have to take pics w/my digi cam. Pics will be up tomorrow.

Will these AMG replica wheels fit?

I'm not exactly sure what offset is required to fit my '05 C230K but will these fit? I'm looking at the 18x8 front and 18x9 rear from discounttire.com:

If I were you, I'd get those with the offset of 30 up front to make sure they clear your calipers.

Is there a range for the front offset that I can go by to clear the front calipers? I know the stock is 30 front and 34 rear.
